CAMARILLO, Calif., Jan. 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power-One, Inc. (Nasdaq:PWER), a leading provider of renewable energy and energy-efficient power conversion and power management solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012 ended December 30, 2012. Power-One recorded net sales of $192 million with Renewable Energy Solutions contributing $123 million and Power Solutions posting $68 million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter was $17 million, or $0.14 per share. This includes a loss, net of tax, of $0.04 per share on foreign currency remeasurement as a result of the recent strengthening Euro versus the U.S. dollar late in the fourth quarter.

"In the fourth quarter of 2012, Power-One shipped 628 megawatts of inverters, lower than we initially expected and due to weakness in Germany and Italy," said Richard Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Power-One. "Despite the difficult current market conditions, our new products continued to be well received in the marketplace as our TRIO family of string inverters posted record sales for the year and our liquid-cooled ULTRA series of central inverters began shipping commercially in Europe in the fourth quarter and is expected to ship in the U.S. in the first quarter."

"The worldwide PV market is expected to grow by approximately 7% in 2013, largely driven by growth in North America and Asia-Pacific," Mr. Thompson continued. "We will benefit from this growth through our investment in these key markets and the introduction of industry-leading new product offerings."
